Only mistake here is 'wet' should be 'whet' I think. Otherwise very good indeed, but I would personally like a stronger image built. Still, a nice haiku. 8

Mars in retrograde.

it's a hoofed spin i invented off of heaving. a mixed word between hovering, hove, hoof, and heaved. past and past part of heave, but now in the present, to be heaving in an uncertain state, a hybrid word. one word out of twelve? i hardly call that masking now mr. foster. i believe it set's up the fear of war when going into it's cousin word upon the page, census.

it would be-HOOVE mr foster to familiarize himself with your oeuvre, as posted on this site (see: plains of africa) as well as the 3rd deinition of the poet's perk:

coin * age n.

1. The right or process of making coins.
2. - Metal currency.
- A system of metal currency.
3.
- A new word or phrase.
- The invention of new words.
